McGregor has rejected the claims against him, claiming that he was stopped while driving to the gym. He also stated through a spokeswoman that he passed the police station's drug and alcohol tests, as per Upi.

In recent years, the famed fighter has been involved in a variety of legal troubles, including driving offenses. McGregor was fined $440 in 2017 for speeding and more than $1,100 in 2019 after pleading guilty to punching a man in a pub the same year. 

McGregor, who was the world's highest-paid athlete last year, hasn't competed in the UFC since fracturing his left tibia and fibula in a loss to Dustin Poirier at UFC 264 in 2021. It's unknown when he'll return, which he's promised to do for a long time.
